Welcome to The Shitpost Office
Shitposts processed from 9 to 5, with occasional overtime on weekends.
Rule 1: Be Civil, Not Sinister
Treat others like fellow employees, not enemies in the breakroom.
- No harassment, dogpiling, or brigading
- No bigotry (transphobia, racism, sexism, etc.)
- Respect people’s time and space. We’re here to laugh, not to loathe
Rule 2: No Prohibited Postage
Some packages are simply undeliverable. That means:
- No spam or scams
- No porn or sexually explicit content
- No illegal content
- NSFW content must be properly tagged
If you see anything that violates these rules, please report it so we can return it to sender. Otherwise? Have fun, be silly, and enjoy the chaos. The office runs best when everyone’s laughing.... or retching over the stench, at least.

A book I read claimed this is pretty much how it went down with the guy who discovered sperm. They claimed he did it with his wife and sprang from the bed because jacking off was frowned upon and of course he'd have to explain where he got the human semen from. Unfortunately a quick glance over some articles has me thinking that might've been heavy conjecture. Though it is confirmed that at one point he thought sperm were a stage of homunculus. There was debate at the time whether woman had anything to do with the formation of a baby other than carrying it lmao.
